lounge seating

Comfortable public chairs

Lounge seating refers to comfortable, informal furniture designed for relaxation rather than formal dining or desk work—sofas, armchairs, ottomans, and similar pieces.

The term appears most often in commercial contexts: The airport terminal features lounge seating near the gates.

It suggests a casual atmosphere where people can sit back, wait, or socialize.
